For every 70 cupcakes that Adam bakes,
he bakes 40 scones.
He bakes a total of 110 cupcakes and scones.
- How many scones does he bake?
- How many more cupcakes than scones does he bake?
(a)
Number of cupcakes and scones per set
= 70 + 40
= 110
Number of sets
= 110 ÷ 110
= 1
Number of scones that Adam bakes
= 1 x 40
= 40
(b) Number of cupcakes that Adam bakes
= 1 x 70
= 70
Number of more cupcakes than scones
= 70 - 40
= 30
Answer(s): (a) 40; (b) 30
